Hello,

If you have an account at Royal Vegas, you might want to check your mail/account, since they gave me a $15 bonus.

I don't know what the bonus is about, so it might be account specific.

[HeyWhatIsWrong?]

Oops wrong forum, can somebody move this please? Thanks.

Pretty sure this is from RoyalVegas's monthly $40,000 Poker Points Challenge, it's not really a bonus, just what you earned for getting 401st to 500th on the leaderboard. See: http://www.royalvegaspoker.com/Promotion-$40%2C000PokerPointsChallenge.asp?btag=RVCP_direct

Yeah I got this as well. Wasnt sure what it was for.
Rely on 2+2 to fill me in - its members always come through!

I got the same letter but when I checked my account, I had $10 not $15. I have not a clue as to what the raked hand requirement is to clear the bonus. It is probably staring me right in the face, but honestly I just don't see it.

[/ QUOTE ]Hmm this is odd, the mail says 15 but my account was also credited by only 10. Did your mail also say 15?

[terrellk11]

Mine says 55 but there isn't anything in there.

[goodgrief]

Correct. The letter said 15, but there was only $10 in the bank. I'm afraid I already recklessly and irresponsibly gambled it away. :-)

[HeyWhatIsWrong?]

Yeah, $5 was added instead of $15. I have been playing a lot at Royal Vegas lately, anybody knows how their leaderbord works? It seems they have $40k to give away, but are these prices given on a daily basis, or after each month? I can't find anything useful on their website.

hello, first post. I got 40 "poker credits" in the email, $20 cash in my account. 1 poker credit equals .50? Free money is free money.

Royal Vegas recently changed their Leaderboard structure to the one which is detailed in the link I provided above. Apparently something is wrong with the new system or the emails they sent out.

Possible theories:

#1 The points system is fine, everyone got paid what they were supposed to, and the emails were screwed up.

#2 The points system is screwed up, everyone got paid an incorrect amount, and the emails were the correct amount.

Personally I think it is #1, and here's why: My email said I had a bonus of $700 but I received only $600. If you check the link regarding their promotion however no place on the Leaderboard actually pays $700, it is $800 for 5th and $600 for 6th. So I'm assuming I got 6th, which seems most likely as I was in 6th place the last time I checked my Leaderboard rank before it paid out. This makes me think the emails are screwed up and everyone received what they were supposed to. I'm open to alternative theories. =)

[HeyWhatIsWrong?]

Can I find somewhere how much my account was credited? I believe it's $5, but I'm not sure, as I don't know exactly how much was in my account.

[NJDevils]

You can indeed, also in reference to your earlier question the $40,000 is indeed a monthly promotion, paid out a little late this month due to the weekend I think. Ok to see how much your account was credited follow this:

1. Click Menu
2. Click Playcheck
3. Under Fixed Search choose Last Ten Admin Events
4. Click Go

Then you should see something that looks like 3 Jul 2006 13:04 Poker Tournament Prize Guarantee +600 (at least that's what mine looks like) /images/graemlins/smile.gif Lemme know if you have any more questions.

Thanks NJDevils, found it!
